This holds true in the civilian world as well.
Those of us that work in retail have to do the same thing. Anyone who says retail is easy has never worked retial. Here are some situations.
Cardboard displays need to be destroyed.
Official method: Pull and cut apart with boxcutters and load it into the bailer.
Unofficial method: Beat it with sledgehammer(Prefered method), crowbar, 2x4, etc, until it falls apart and can be loaded into the bailer.
Garbage compactor is jammed because someone put too much trash into it.
Official method: Call garbage contractor to come remove trash container and clean compactor box.
Unofficial method: Remove key, turn off breaker, have co-worker gaurd breaker and compactor door, climb into compactor, and jump on pile of trash.
Garbage compactor is locked and needs a manager to unlock it every time for workers to put trash in.
Official method: Call a manager every time you need to throw trash.
Unofficial method: "Accidentally" break lock or lock hasp, throw trash.
Box of TP is needed for bathrooms and it is on the top shelf of the supply cabinet. The supply cabinet is 15 feet high.
Official method: Get two people to put large ladder (That nobody can find.) in position. Climb ladder and hand TP to co-worker below.
Unofficial method: Get medium ladder, climb to top of medium ladder, poke boxes of TP with a broom until they fall down.
Ouside locks are frozen shut.
Official method: Call store authorized locksmith.
Unofficial method: Propane torch and some silicone spray.
You are finished working outside and need to get back in through the locked backdoor.
Official method: Ring bell until someone inside calls management to let you back in.
Unofficial method: Body slam door until the door alarm goes off so people inside will go and get a manager.
There are many others, but I will leave it at that. I am sure you all can think of more examples.
